New thread to show what handbag you're using today, or what you're contemplating purchasing.

I'm lusting after this.

And using this today.

@Isabelle70 I do love a cute little LV.

Isabelle70 · 02/05/2024 16:37

The LV has been shipped and I can collect at the weekend but then I have also seen this WOC.... decisions! I could get both but feels very excessive.

@Isabelle70 the LV will fit more in. WOCs are just glorified purses!

I am going to Liberty this morning. I have a meeting round the corner from it and want to have a look at the jones road make up.

Going to have a nosey at bags while I am in there.

@EachandEveryone that’s so funny! Must be the weather getting slightly better is turning us to sunglasses and new fragrances 😂😂😂

I LOVE the Chanel WOCs

But ...where is that one from? I'm not sure it's genuine as the quilting doesn't line up ?

Isabelle70 · 05/05/2024 07:30

@iloveshetlandponies the WOC Is from a Chanel store. I have been to see it and it's more of an airforce blue rather than a navy/grey as described so I passed on it.

The sun is shining so heading out to lunch with this summer bag.

My new work bag. Impulse purchase but I can't resist rainbow glitter!

Just got this on sale and I love it already. It’s like my knock of Turkish Alexa for size and will replace it it’s perfect for everyday for me and it was down to £340. I’m not spending anymore on bags for a good while 😀

EachandEveryone · 07/05/2024 20:15

Sorry it’s a Chloe and really well made

I went and purchased 2 bags had buyers remorse overnight and returned the first and really pleased with the Chanel WOC I choose to keep.

They are both lovely. The WOC is gorgeous!

I finally have a new tote for work though it was actually a gift rather than a purchase and not any of the brands I was looking at. But I do like it and it’s my favourite colour so that helps. It’s actually lilac but looks more grey in the photo.

It’s the Go getter from Poppy and peonies.

Love the bags on this thread - I'm looking for a crossbody bag big enough for a kindle and with internal pockets (so many satchel styles are just one space so everything gets muddled) - love the LV pochette metis but I can't quite justify the price - does anyone have any suggestions? Looking to spend under £1000. Thanks all

I have the Pochette Metis and it's beautiful and very roomy, you may pick up a second hand one within budget. Failing that what about this one by Mulberry?

@Itsonlymashadow I went and checked the brand out, like the organisation of the bag and good for travel as well :)
@iloveshetlandponies i absolutely love it! I went to look at a navy/grey bag and saw the pink and that was it I had to have it.
Did you win the YSL? I do like the style of them the leather looks so smooshy :)

iloveshetlandponies · 23/05/2024 07:54

@Isabelle70

Yes I did win it ! It has got to be sent to the authenticators but I'm confident it's genuine as I have the black version in the next size up and everything checks out

I can't wait to receive it

My H almost fainted when I told him I'd spent £900 on a bag on a whim 😅😅 but I've had a really good month at work so deserve it I think 😝

Isabelle70 · 23/05/2024 13:03

@iloveshetlandponies
Congrats!! Fingers crossed it's all ok. I am unable to bid on eBay as it sets my heart racing!
Looking at my bags I do like quilting and smooshyness. I have been drawn to them without realising.
Mine is a treat too, a hard time at work with 30 plus hours of overtime this month so a bag has to be purchased!

Haha I like quilting and smooshyness too

And these sort of YSL bags are soooo smooshy the leather is absolutely gorgeous

PegasusReturned · 23/05/2024 20:07

@iloveshetlandponies beautiful is it red or pink?

This is mine in “dark beige”. The leather is beautiful, although get less use from it than I’d thought - it’s v small.

iloveshetlandponies · 23/05/2024 20:56

That's beautiful @PegasusReturned

I've got that in black 😍😍

iloveshetlandponies · 23/05/2024 20:56

And it's "bubblegum pink" apparently
